Human or spiders: who would you target?

[Delysid]

I feel that SEO has a huge impact on the visitors to the website. My feelings are that the best way to go about SEO is to have extensive and informative articles, that not only mention your desired keywords innumerable times, but supply good information to humans. As a consequence, you are not having an adverse affects on human visitors who are looking for clear and concise information, navigational elements and page headers.

You need to have a bit of both in my experiance, as SEO can have a huge affect on how successful your website is, it can also have a huge adverse affect at the same time. When writing articles make sure you keep the keywords in the text but dont go overboard, generally speaking good articles get links, which in turn is normally worth more than a couple extra keywords. So write your content well, with keywords and ensure its not too obvious you are targetting SEO!

yes, but considering the number of websites out there, and how many of them relate to what you have, it is going to take you a long while if you are going to be dependant of SEO, thats why i consider it after vigourous advertising, both by mouth and paid ads. I dont know why, but to me, getting listed is some how useless if you are going to be 999/1000.
